TV Shopper, also known as Your Television Shopper or Kathi Norris' Television Shopper, was an early American daytime television series which aired on the DuMont Television Network at 10:30 am ET from November 1, 1948 to December 1, 1950. The show was hosted by Kathi Norris, also host of DuMont's Spin the Picture, and was an early example of a TV shopping show. Johnny Stearns recalled that his wife Mary Kay had received an offer to be a model for this or a similar program, but, at his request, refused and instead did television's first sitcom, Mary Kay and Johnny. Episode status As with most DuMont Network programs, no episodes of TV Shopper are known to survive today.
